![]() ![]() ![]() Obviously his talking about Cobain and the dire consequences of fame was haunting and sadly spot on. The three-hour journey worked as a complete story, even if Grohl, by his own telling, had 20 minutes to squeeze in the last 20 years near the end thanks to curfew, so it's hard to select certain stories as standouts. ![]() That success didn't automatically preclude having a home. This was a well-produced stage show, one that relied solely on Grohl's ability to entertain you with his life's journey, from being a little kid hearing the Beatles to becoming a dad and figuring out, while at Young's house, that you could have music and family. This wasn't a guy going up there reading some stories from a book. Because his pacing, his delivery, the way he paused, the performance, the authenticity, the honesty, the emotion were a revelation. Turns out Grohl might need to be the next rock star, after Springsteen, to hit Broadway. But hearing him talk about the impact Kurt Cobain's death had on him, about being an outcast in Springfield, Virginia, joining Scream, playing with Iggy Pop in Toronto one night, were dazzling. ![]() But the songs were less than ten percent of the show, and honestly they were the least interesting part of the night, because Grohl's stories were that compelling. ![]()
